Doug Casey on mask wearing and divisiveness

The masks everybody self-righteously wears have become the equivalent of Nazi armbands, or the red scarfs of the old Soviet Union’s Young Pioneers. 

They want people to unite against the enemy, namely people that protest against or don’t wear masks.  The non-PC have become the enemy in large parts of the US.  People in the rural heartland states don’t generally wear masks or take COVID nearly as seriously as the liberal elites on the coast do.  As a consequence, the virus is accentuating the cultural divide between the red people and the blue people.
